Booster jabs 'massively' strengthen the body’s defenses against Covid

> So, saying that vaccination should be primarily and aggressively focused on people with comorbilities can be "misinformation"

Eh? That's not misinformation and has been the policy of most governments, more or less. Now, it would be misinformation to suggest that it doesn't need to be given to anyone else.

> but saying that booster jabs "massively" strengthen bodys's defense against covid is completely accuarate and acceptable.

That is what the studies say (obviously, 'massively' is editorialisation).

I'm not sure what your point is, here?

I find the use of "primary" and "secondary immune response" to be misleading. FWIW

So what kind of response are we going to get from the next booster shots that have already been announced? The tertiary immune response?

The vaccines as they are would have been perfectly fine if the wild type of SARS-Cov2 were everything we had to deal with. At least you seem to be referring to that because of the level of efficacy you mention. Unfortunately the pesky Delta variant appeared and threw a spanner in our works. Now there is the Omicron variant which seems to be even more infectious.

As much as I understand that people would prefer if the world were simple and solutions obvious but it just not is this way. It's messy and things change and that means that yesteryear's statements just might no longer be true. We need to deal with that and please do not make things more complicated than they are anyways already.

It initially was 90%+ protection.

Versus the variants available at the time, yes. Unfortunately, the people running the studies couldn't get the budget for a time machine to see what would be happening in late 2021.

Note that the possibility of future variants was certainly raised at the time; it was never any secret that this was an evolving situation.

I mean, hopefully we don't end up in that situation, but it would still clearly be better than _not_ having the boosters, if what's where we do end up.

Is this comment about UK decision to give boosters after 3 months from last vaccination?

I think there is big misconception about boosters and Delta. People appear to assume that there is some time after what vaccines loose effectiveness against Delta.

I see it rather as assumption that 1 shot should work against Wuhan variant. Well, it does not so does not 2 shots against Delta. Waiting period is irrelevant. It is only a compromise between mounting a better immune response from time difference and risk of infection.
